Day 326, More Insights

What is the Nature and Work of the Holy Spirit?

In John's gospel, Jesus says the Holy Spirit is our encourager, our teacher, and guide to truth (John 14:16-17 and 16:13). What the Holy Spirit leads us to do will not contradict the Bible, his Holy Word. Instead, it will lead to the truth.

In John 15:26 and John 16:13-15, Christ said the Holy Spirit would come to testify of him and glorify him, not anyone else. If the results of an action or decision praise anyone besides Christ, it is not of God.

Jesus said the Holy Spirit convicts the world of guilt regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Do the results of an action or decision do this?

According to John 6:63 and 2 Corinthians 3:6, The Holy Spirit gives life. Do the results of an action or decision lead to spiritual life?

The Apostle Paul writes that there are fruits (spiritual characteristics) of the Holy Spirit's work (Galatians 5:22-23). Do the results of an action or decision lead to one or more of the fruits of the Spirit?
